Purity tests? Unless MSNBC is not EXACTLY the left counterpart of Fox, you won't be happy? The three you mentioned may not be Rachel or O'Donnell or Chris Hayes (my personal favorites), but they are all decent professionals, not perfect, but to say that they should be fired because they are not liberal enough is in my book shameful. I don't watch them much, not my viewing hours, though I resonably often watch MTP (Gregory makes me miss Tim Russert, not in the same class by far, but not worse than the other people in the SUnday morning shows), I listen quite often to Chuck Todd on my way to work, he is not right nor left, and he is pretty good with analyzing numbers, polls and such. The last show I don't watch unless I am sick at home, but when seeing her at other hours, again she is a decent professional, better than many, the fact that she is married to Greenspan is nobody's business but hers, annd to call her a hag is ugly.

Add Al Sharpton. I love him but it is painful to watch him sometimes. Pisces Sep 2012 #1
